Keeping Them Up at Night

This especially nefarious type of hostile action targets various entities through a supplier of technology and security services. Those are the very companies customers expect to protect them from cyber threats.

One respondent said, “The way the attack was used to pivot to expose potentially thousands of SolarWinds customers demonstrates an often overlooked threat vector.”

Another respondent said, “Attacks on our software update/patching supply chain are high up on the list of things that keep us up at night. An attack on the software that controls our entire network and systems is even more frightening.”
